Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to view the video and for your comments. Are those words the lyrics from a song? Very many documentaries and such like have music over them. Over 2,000 of my viewers disagree with you. Take care and stay safe.

Thank you for watching the video and for your comments. Yes indeed, it's always been a favourite for us over the years and never gets dull.

Easy mistake to make. Thank you for stopping by.

Hi there. Thank you for viewing the video and for your comments which are greatly appreciated. I knew about the Lac Leman name (I've been visiting this part of Switzerland for over 50 years) but I'm guessing it's more widely known the world over as Lake Geneva. Rock band Deep Purple used the lyric 'on the Lake Geneva shoreline' in their massive song 'Smoke on the Water'. Thank you again and stay safe.

Thank you for checking out the video and for adding to my view and comment count. I take it you're not a fan of Mr.Mercury or Queen which is perfectly fine. I defend your right of freedom of expression. I've been to Budapest twice and loved it!

Hello Andrew. I trust all is well with you. Thank you for your comments. I did wonder about the copyright thing but have got away with it, at least so far but with no guarantees! My channel isn't big enough to worry about monetizing or de-monetizing! I just don't fancy being blocked! I have a version of the film ready with some copyright-free classical music if the worst happens but I like the Queen song too. I've been a bit unwell since about July of last year and been having treatments of chemo which finished in April. Everything is good now and the prognosis is really excellent! This holiday in Switzerland staying with my sister was the first since Xmas 2022 and was most welcome! I've been looking at the UA-cam thing again including catching up with your channel. I'd subscribed ages ago but forgot to tick the notification bell which I now have! I'll be posting again shortly. Take care.

@@shanghai264359 Ah Tim, Chemo means Big C, you don't want to go there matey. I mentioned Copyright because I've had a few issues with UA-cam's algorithm. I normally win if I complain and they remove the flag up. On the video with the big pink swan pedelo, the background music was especially adapted for it by the 1980s Glam Rock pop group Classix Nouveau because one of my fishing pals is their guitarist. An explanation to UA-cam explained this, so they again removed the flag. It proves real people do take notice.

@@andrewdking Well, you certainly got results with those. It's encouraging to know that humans are occasionally allowed to intervene in such matters. 'At the end of the day' they can see how a particular channel is running its content and respond accordingly. Well done!

Thank you Glenn. Yes, that was a bonus and you could see him immediately climb on board.

Hi David. The model number is Roco 73249. Hope this helps.

@@shanghai264359 Thank you so much !!!

Thank you very much for taking the time to view the video and for your kind words!

Hi Andrew. I don't think it was me. You commented on my stuffed pike restoration video a while ago to say that you were an angler etc. I've just had notification of your new 'filleting' video and will watch it with interest shortly Cheers and all the best. Tim.

@@shanghai264359 Ah well, so if you had notification of my trout filleting video, then it was you who subscribed to me. Notifications don't happen by chance. I'm now working on another video with more to come. There will be model railway ones too, so not all about angling.

Hi Andrew. I like your style! There used to be an old joke with the punch-line 'wash bison' but I can't remember the first bit!

Hi Andrew. I see where you're going there with the 0-4-0! The angler is either long gone or they're in the bear!

@@shanghai264359 Yeah, the bear was full, so didn't need to catch the salmon in that river. Nice to see you don't just do model railway videos. I'm the same. The Great Bear loco, another niche one I'm sure Hornby will be making soon, as they have the Hush Hush.

@@andrewdking It could happen with the Great Bear. I've been trawling my video archive for non-model railway stuff so watch this space. Cheers.

Thank you Glenn. I never thought of that but you are right! The only thing I had to do was replace part of the sound track, but still only with that from another clip in the sequence. So part of the sound is repeated!

Hi Karen. Thank you so much for that fascinating information.

Hello Dukain. We hugely respect the animals' space, unlike others seen in the video! Thank you again and stay safe.

@@shanghai264359 Right!!!! I love seeing animals in their natural habitat, but from a distance.

@@dukainmanning7246 Me too! I'm lucky enough to have been to East Africa three times since my first trip there in 1980 and the experiences were truly magical! It definitely isn't wise to try and 'mingle' with most of the animals there!

Hi Alvaro. Many thanks for your great comment! You are very lucky to know somebody etc etc who has some as pets. Who takes who for walks?

@@shanghai264359 In other words, I can’t divulge people’ names because it’s illegal to have them as pets. By the way I subscribed! 👍

@@alvaroq2024 Thank you so much for subscribing to my channel. You'd think someone would have noticed! Don't worry, your friend's secret is safe with me! Cheers.

@@shanghai264359 Do you upload bears in the wild? I love those animals, especially the cubs 🤗

@@alvaroq2024 We managed to film a bear from across the Madison River on this same Yellowstone trip which was a great thrill but I haven't uploaded it, at least yet. You've given me an idea there Alvaro so watch this space!

Thank you for your comment. I'm afraid I do not understand your reply.

Hello David. Thank you so much for your great comments! I'm delighted you enjoyed the video. It was unfortunate that we just missed the start of the piece. Since it was just a rehearsal there was no programme so it was pot luck what we were going to hear. It was still one of those 'hairs standing up on the back of your neck' moments. Thank you again and stay safe.

Absolutely right but beautiful too!

Hi Hot. Thank you for your heartfelt comments. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Hi Sharon. Many thanks for your kind comment. We certainly were!

I must be misunderstanding you. Who is turning their backs on a bison?

@@shanghai264359 what I meant was, one shouldn't ever turn your back on an animal in their environment. Bison are very fast and agile. Just a few quick steps and they could be on you. Many people have been surprised and injured. I love Bison. They are my spirit animal. I wasn't being rude. Sorry!

Hi Sharon. I didn't think for a moment you were being rude. I agree with you. I am an animal lover myself and have always respected their space and safety. One of my favourite places anywhere is East Africa where I have been lucky or even 'blessed' enough to have visited on three occasions. Thank you again for your thoughtful comments. Stay safe.

Hello again Sharon. It's a great shame that some people in our video and, indeed, others on YT are not respecting the animals in Yellowstone and similar places as well. Take care.

Yes, and these were also being escorted by park rangers for extra safety.

We were indeed extremely fortunate and blessed to have had this experience. We're so sorry to hear of the recent floods and hope you will again soon have your easy acess to this true wonderland of nature. Stay safe.

@@shanghai264359 They have said that the road from Gardiner to Mammoth will be open to the public before winter sets in. This is a temp road known as the Old Road and the cost is a whopping 60 million. May take up to 4-5 years to get the other connecting road from Gardiner to Mammoth fixed.

Hello Al. Many thanks for viewing the video and for your comments. Glad you enjoyed it. I've wanted one of these for ages and found this on special offer. Stay safe.👌😊👍🏻🚂

Really good video loco is great ans a great layout I have this loco with dcc sound

Hi Glenn. I trust you are well. Thank you so much for your very kind words. I was very restricted for space so this became the only solution to the problem. Woodwork was my favourite and best subject at school and it's come in very handy over the years! Take care.

Hello Andrew. Thank you again for your comments. It was the only room in the house I could put a layout. That long wall is just right at 9 feet long and the baseboard is 4 feet wide. Your plan for your test loop sounds good. You should give it a go. Cheers.

Hello again Al. I trust you are well. Many thanks indeed for your kind comments. The room is used occasionally when relatives stay so all the rolling stock, buildings etc. have to come off and get stored away. Take care. 😊👍🏻

@@shanghai264359 am good thanks 🙏

@@shanghai264359 🚂🚂👋👍👌

Hello again Andrew. Thank you for your question. It took about 25 minutes or thereabouts including a few minutes for some light mower maintenance which was edited out. The speeding up process removed the live sound hence the addition of the birds!

@@shanghai264359 you don't have to pay birds copyright fees. I made another railway instructional video the other day, but I'm having a very long mental block in uploading them to UA-cam

@@andrewdking Hi Andrew. Too true! I'm already subscribed to your channel and noticed you haven't uploaded for a while so I'll get the notification when you do. I wish you well with that! I'll be uploading another short model railway video myself tomorrow.

Hi Stathis. Many thanks for taking the time to make your comments on the video. I hope you enjoyed it. If you did you might like to check out the rest of my channel. Stay safe.

Hi Edwin. Thank you for your awesome comment and adding to my comment count!

Hi Samiulla. Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and for making such a valued comment. I see you joined UA-cam just today in order to leave your wise words. I am truly honoured and wish you well with your new YT channel. 🤣

Hi Al. Great to hear from you. Thank you for your comments. I trust you are keeping well. I've been wanting to add some low-relief buildings on that side for a while so I can vary the background. All the best for now and stay safe. 😁👍🏻👌🎈

@@shanghai264359 👋🚂🤗👍

Hi Andrew. Many thanks again for your kind and thoughtful comments. I'm glad you took the time to view the video and that you found it of particular interest. In fact my first thought was to attempt to take the case down from the loft and do the restoration in a more practical environment. However, I'd had the roof insulated with spray-foam a while before which immediately solved the problem of dust ingress into the loft space. Following closer inspection of the case and the questionable condition of the fixing of the bowed front glass as well as the loose glass end pieces, I decided that the safest option was to leave it in situ and accept the limitations. I understand that the video would be likely to gather many more views and comments had the casing shattered during its journey down to the landing and onto my friend's head but they would not be the sorts of views or comments I would appreciate! Being over 6 feet tall was also an issue with my head, elbows and knees all bearing the scars to prove it! I'm sure that any restoration connoisseur would be absolutely horrified at some of the processes employed but the pike has such precious memories for me I was prepared to 'make it up as I went along', as can be seen in the video! Thanks again.

Hello again Andrew. Thank you very much for your comprehensive and detailed comments. I too, was somewhat surprised about the lack of head and tail lamps on the model. I didn't realise it until I read the informtion sheet inside the box before running it on the layout. At effectively £200.00 a pop it was already a borderline decision for me whether or not to buy one and I wonder how much it might have added to the cost with the relatively complex addition of the changing head and tail lights. It brings back into question the value of 'super-detailed' models in the first place (controversial) something we might have discussed before. My collection of detailed parts which have dropped off various models is steadily growing and I'm the most careful person I know! Having said all that it is a lovely model. Many thanks again. Cheers. Tim

@@shanghai264359 I remember seeing this vehicle at the NEC Warley Show a few years back. I liked it but it didn't fit anything I was into. However, the soon to be released Kernow GWR Steam Railmotor looks similar and has a motion on one of the bogies. Now that thing does float my boat; a real curiosity, so I've ordered the brown one.

@@andrewdking Good for you. That sounds interesting. I'll have a look into that. I'm just into running trains and can be found running continental alongside American! Great fun!

Hi there. Many thanks for your comments!

Hello Al. Sorry to hear you've been under the weather again. Many thanks for your comments. Take it easy and get well soon. Take care and stay safe. Cheers. Tim. 😀👍🏻

@@shanghai264359 👋😃🚂🤗👍

Hi Glenn. Thank you for watching the video and for your comments. It was certainly a labour of love which took a total of 18 months to complete. I was amazed to discover the likely age of the pike too.

Hi Andrew. Many thanks for your comments. It's a project I've wanted to do for years and years and it finally reached fruition. I never thought it would end that well so I'm delighted with the outcome.

Hi Landon. Many thanks for your comment. It was certainly awesome to be there! Pity we arrived just after the piece had started.

Hi Dan. Many thanks for your comments. We've now been to Yellowstone three times in different seasons and it was always awesome! We've seen Canada Geese in a variety of places but have yet to be attacked by one!

Unbeatable or unbearable. Bloody things are everywhere here in the UK. Breed like rabbits and leave their turds everywhere. However, glad to see our native Greylags are making a slow comeback

Hi Craig. Many thanks for your very kind comments. It's a lovely model for sure. Some commenters were perhaps a little harsh but I was always grateful that they took the time to view my other videos about 18000 and certainly defend their right to have their say. Thanks again and stay safe. Cheers. Tim.

Hi Glenn. Many thanks for your nice comment. I'm pleased with that shot too.

Hi KIm. Thank you so much for viewing the video and for your nice comment! It was my third visit to Yellowstone from here in the UK and was as awesome as ever! My first visit was approaching Winter time many years ago and we crossed over the Beartooth pass from Billings in the snow. The very next day the pass was closed. This has become far and away the most popular video on my channel ahead of my dash-cam view of the Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire. Thanks again. Stay safe.

@@shanghai264359 I live in Idaho and I've only been twice once in spring and what's in the fall and it was a very different experience each visit. I hope you keep coming back. Did you drive down to Jackson hole past the grand tetons?

@@kimmasuen4107 Yes, we stayed near Jackson Lake for a couple of nights before continuing to Jackson Hole and then on to Salt Lake City and later the Grand Canyon. We ended up in Phoenix before flying to San Francisco to visit family. We were in the US to view the total solar eclipse of August 2017 and our tour started in Billings MT. I've been to the States more times than I can remember since 1977 but haven't been since 2019 for obvious reasons. We are looking at getting back there soon. Take care. Tim.

Hello Al. I'm keeping well thank you. I hope you are too. Cheers. Tim. 😃👍

Hi James. Many thanks for viewing the video and for taking the time to post your comments. I bow to your expertise in the realm of Railway Locomotive Mechanical Engineering. My only qualification is a CSE Grade 1 in woodwork in 1967! The only part of Railway Locomotive Mechanical Engineering I understand is that every loco in my sizeable collection certainly copes with 3rd radius curves and 95% of them handle 1st radius too. This includes my American diesels and all my European, Chinese and British outline models too. I love my 18000 loco and was massively disappointed when it struggled with the 3rd radius. I wasn't the only one judging by the comments under various 18000 YT videos, including my own. The Rails website still isn't mentioning that the model is restricted to 3rd radius curves and I fear for the forthcoming 18100 recently announced by Rails. I honestly don't know what code track mine is. I just know that everything else runs over all radii with no issues. Incredibly this includes the original Rivarossi 'Big Boy' from the mid-1970's. Have you seen my videos of that on my channel? In any event I already have the biggest layout I can possibly fit into my humble semi in South-East London, and that is a 'fold-down'! When the 18000 model was first announced I had no hesitation in pre-ordering one. Over the years nobody told me that I might need a physics degree just to run my trains. I'm happy that you are able to operate with a minimum 5 foot radius and I'm sure that 18000 would, indeed, run beautifully. If you haven't already done so why not have a look at my 'solved' and 'running' videos of 18000 in the above YT links. Just a word of warning though. You might need a sedative before watching the 'solved' video. Many people have been seen running out of their homes screaming in horror having watched it! Thanks again for your comments. Stay safe and happy modelling.😆

Thanks for your comment. This was a free rehearsal evening with no programme and people were coming and going the whole time. We arrived when the piece was already under way.

Hello Al. Many thanks for viewing the video and for your nice comments. It's been good seeing you back on your layout. Belated greetings for the New Year to you and yours too! Take care. Cheers. Tim.😊👍👍😊👌

Hi Gareth. Many thanks for viewing the video and for your comments. It was very surprising indeed to have this outcome from this highly respected partnership.

Hi Bob. Many thanks for your comments. It certainly is a great disappointment.
